After a sunny week in Spain I'm back in sunny France with my head full of new ideas and feeling very inspired. Little did I know a week of Sunny Design Days in Spain would be this amazing. With our group of 5 bloggers and 5 journalists we met with 11 Spanish design brands, visited Read article…

Off to Spain for Sunny Design Days!
Au revoir Paris, ¡Hola Barcelona, Valencia y Madrid! I'm really excited, because today I'm off to Spain for Sunny Design Days! After a very busy spring working on #urbanjunglebook on top of regular client projects, and lots of rain, I'm SO ready for sunshine, the relaxed vibe of Spain and the best in Spanish design.

Maison Chateau Rouge in Paris
Mix a graphic interior, tropical plants and creative ideas with a welcoming athmosphere and you win me over. When I saw some first glimpses of the newly opened Maison Château Rouge on l'Instant Parisien's instagram, I knew I had to visit this cheerful shop as soon as possible. Youssouf, co-founder of Maison Château Rouge and Read article…
Urban Jungle Bloggers #30
One plant and three stylings. This month's Urban Jungle Bloggers edition sounds pretty easy. For the styling part at least. But picking ONE plant was my challenge. I have many favorites: I love all my different cacti that come from all over Southern Europe, the new Oxalis plants, my thriftshop plant, some little cuttings… Enfin Read article…
Prix de Diane 2016 in Chantilly
Last week I got to wear a hat… twice! For Anne's naturalisation party, we all wore a French beret… And this weekend I was invited to the Prix de Diane horse races in Chantilly, best known for its fancy hats. Last time I visited there was a lot of wind, not very easy to wear Read article…
Botanical Garden in Munich
In every new capital or large city that I visit I try to visit the botanical garden. They are my happy place and most of the time they are SO very beautiful, refreshing and remind me how amazing tropical and exotic jungle actually are. When in Munich a few weeks ago, we had a little Read article…
Anton Doll Holzmanufaktur in Munich
When in Munich, on my way to get an ice cone at True & 12 to celebrate good #urbanjunglebook news, I passed by shop & wood workshop Anton Doll. The beautiful wooden stools in the shop window convinced me to take a peek inside. It's probably because I'm currently slightly obsessed with stools: they are Read article…
Munich mini guide
Two weeks ago I was in Munich, Germany to work on #urbanjunglebook with Igor. The book is nicely shaping up and we're currently in the middle of the last bits and pieces of text. It's been intense and lots of hard work, but so much fun as well! Very soon we'll be able to (finally!) Read article…
Urban Jungle Bloggers #29
This month's Urban Jungle Bloggers topic was rather easy. Because in our cinema room where Robert and I have dinner-for-two, it's impossible to dress the table without plants. Well, usually they are not ON our dining table, but the last time I counted there were 66 plants in this room. On top of all the Read article…
Cactus Oase in Ruurlo Holland
Last week I had the privilege to visit the Cactus Oase in Ruurlo, the Netherlands. Well, rather than a privilege, it was quite a long and slow ride through the Eastern Dutch countryside 😉 but very much worth it if you love cacti as much as I do. The Cactus Oase is the largest privately Read article…
